I'm starting a seriously misguided, technically challenging and wholly
ridiculous legacy software project.
I could do it on a VM but am really wanting to do it on actual hardware.
Have a Nexar tower (KLAMATH 233 MMX) and a Pentium S 75 both on the
on-deck circle.
I am needing a functional 10MB ISA-16 or PCI ethernet adaptor with
MS-DOS drivers. (RJ 45 otherwise I'd have to come back to the list and
beg for a BNC hub, thinnet, terminating resistors, etc)
Will pay.
*fingers crossed*

I might have the card, but good luck on the drivers.

Unfortunately, I have a mountain of cards with no drivers and another
mountain of driver disks with no card.
Just found a CNET PCI card what's box claimed a DOS ODI driver.
Box lied.
From the looks of things, I'll have a more difficult time building the
machine than writing the code.
About to reconsider my no VM policy.

I may have a 10baseT hub with a BNC port on it as well. I'd have to dig
through boxes to find them.
As for driver disks, most are still available online with a bit of
searching. Here's one good spot:

The one I have handy is an IBM 10/100 TX PCI card. It has intel chips on
it, but I have no idea what drivers it will use.

I'm pretty sure I have some 3com 3c905 (or is it 3c509, hell I don't remember) cards, and some other cards... surely the drivers for the 3coms can't be hard to find on the internet... I just got home but I can go down to the dungeon and take inventory in a little while...

got some 3c509-tp and 3c509b-tpo cards, free if you swing by east ridge

May just do that.
I located pktdrv and ODI drivers for an aon325 which I think I have
several of. If these don't work out, I know I can easily get what I need
for 3COM adapters.

The biggest problem I have run into is a total dearth of PktDrv and ODI
support. If I want Windows 9x/NT support, I am golden.

App.net client for MS-DOS.
Stems from a conversation with the maintainer of TenFoxFour and texapp
while attempting to get Strawberry Perl and CURL loaded into a Compaq
LTE-5000. (Spectacular failure as CPAN broke the poor little guy's back)
The more it was joked about, the more ideas of how to handle large JSON
streams congealed in my head.
It's the sort of ludicrous project that appeals to me.
